Sharon Anderson accepts the Challenge to
debate Senator Dick Cohen et al. Please visit www.sharonsenate64.blogspot.com
Sharon as a Whistleblower, Conservative VA Widow must expose the Heinous
Repugnant Commitment Process's in the State of Minnesota. On the Graves of
Tenants in Common at 1058 Summit Ave. St.Paul,MN.

Chaired by Lesbian Judge Joanne Smith, denying
due process to those Vunerable, alleged MI, denying free speech in the case of
www.lufsky.blogspot.com costing the
taxpayers a fortune for the past 25 years.

I believe that I
have been a strong progressive voice in the State Senate (and before that in the
State House of Representatives) over the last number of years.

As chair of the
Senate Finance Committee for the last 8 years we were in the majority I led the
efforts to mitigate the effects of the very conservative Pawlenty budgets and
now as the ranking minority member of the Finance Committee I have been the
Senator both in committee and on the Senate floor who has exposed the sham of
the extreme Republican budget and voted no last year on their borrowing to
balance the budget. If re-elected, I look forward to resuming my chairmanship
but now to be able to work with Governor Dayton in passing a progressive budget
that will work for all Minnesotans and not just a few.

I have consistently
supported all rights for the gay and lesbian community in Minnesota and was one
of only 12 Senators who voted no on the so-called Defense of Marriage act in
1996. This year I have participant and voice in our efforts to defeat the
egregious marriage amendment. And, I feel that I have been a compelling voice
against the voter ID amendment which is simply voter suppression speaking very
strongly against it both in committee and on the Senate floor.

I have been
involved heavily in issues involving the University of Minnesota and higher
education, reformed child support collection and enforcement, authored most of
the major housing legislation, provided the money for the displaced homemakers'
appropriation, authored the legislation to allow state support for stem cell
research, and established the Minnesota Film Board.

Most recently, as
chair of the Finance Committee I put the Legacy Amendment together in the
committee, and, in particular, originated the arts and culture portion of the
amendment. Partly as a consequence of that President Obama appointed me as one
of 32 members of the President's Committee on the Arts and the
Humanities.

I look forward to
meeting all of you as the election progresses but in the meantime do not
hesitate to call me at 651-699-4476 with questions or go
to my website at www.reeletdickcohen.com.

And, again, I hope
that I can have your support in the primary election on August 14th. I look
forward to representing you.
